Increase accuracy while

saving time in water analysis

Whatman
Ready-to-use
filter family

Maintaining accuracy under the time pressure

of a busy lab can be a challenge. The WhatmanTM
ready-to-use (RTU) filter family from Cytiva are
certified to have been pre-treated in line with key
requirements for sample preparation, helping you
to support an accurate analysis while reducing time
spent on sample preparation.
